Khumbu Climbing School

Conrad Anker and wife Jennifer Lowe-Anker helped setup the Khumbu Climbing School in Nepal to prepare the local Sherpas for high-altitude expeditions in the Himalaya. This is the third year of the school, which teaches things like alpine climbing skills and avalanche preparedness to kids. It’s funded in large part by The North Face, who created a Khumbu line of their popular gear. Proceeds from the sale of The North Face KCS Collection go directly to the program.
